there is tool called "ts_calibrate" ... just run it, it can calibrate ... well ... everything I got in contact so far. Even tslib surpassed palmos touchscreen handling long time ago.



You need different cocoboot (or drop the root= option from the current one)
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~miska/cocoboot.prc this one should be just fine

OK, I feel really stupid, and probably shouldn't even be messing with this thing, but curiosity has the best of me. I went to the testing site and downloaded TX Linux (all) and unpacked it onto my SD card on my TX. I have a linux folder, a zimage and initrd.gz on the SD card, as well as cocoboot in launcher (since moved onto main memory).

On the loader page I show:
885 Palm TX
/zimage xxx bytes
/initrd.gz: xxx bytes
command line: init=/linuxrc

I click Boot!, and all I get is a snowy screen. I tried a 2nd SD card, and I get a snowy screen. Am I doing something wrong, missing something, etc, or should I just let the grown-ups (youngsters probably in this case!) play with their own toys???

You do get a 'snowy' screen at first, and then it clears. How long did you leave it before resetting?

Just a thing I noticed is that when I went back to POS, my auto-off timer had a ridiculus long value (it was up and running in my pocket for 10-15 minutes).
Just go into the power prefs and select a morec conservative one

Edit: It's been running for 3 hours, so something tells me it's still not working for myself. Maybe I'll try the "official" version to see if that starts up with my SD cards, as that could be the problem.

Try to remove card and insert it again and power off and on your Palm in PalmOS before taping on boot.

well, to play devil's advocate [and annoy you a bit]...palmos boots fine with any sort of usb cable and sd card state

Well, I had an interesting experience last night... I removed the rootfs flag from the boot app, and it ran through the init sequence and then started to boot... and then locked up when the graphical boot screen had just started.

When I tried again, cocoboot immediately reset the TX on launch -- the only way I found it would work was launching it from Resco Explorer instead of from standard launchers; even after a warm reset.

HOWEVER, at least one of the files appears to have become corrupted as a result of that crash. Everything fails to load, and the kernel eventually panics.

Thanks. That is better, but it's not as good as PowerDigi. Screen taps are still a little bit out in a few places

hello all, i have some problems on my tx when i try to boot the angstrom opie version, so, i discovered the problem: the zImage file was wrong/corrupt. on the internet, i found the correct file and uploaded a pack with all the files to boot correctly on T|X.

Please, before testing, DO A BACKUP FIRST, probably you'll lost all your data on RAM and CARD.

Download Here: http://www.4shared.com/file/1776231...ie_PALM_TX.html

in this version, suspend/resume works safely.

the readme file was in portuguese (my 1st language, english is my 2nd language), but just unpack the cocoboot.prc to palm/launcher folder, and all the other files to the root directory. on the cocoboot, don't change anything, just tap boot.

and again, DO A BACKUP FIRST, RAM to card and card to PC.

Sorry for my english (it's my 2nd language, so take it easy)

Thanks! That looks like the ticket to fix the problems I was having.

Oh, and Miska: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz appears to have stopped accepting outside connections sometime in the last week.

Some hosting problems :-( It's back online now ;-)

This does only give me an endless white screen after booting.

Miska-

I downloaded from your site. Boots no problem. Runs pretty well. I'm still playing with it. Couple of questions though:

1) I always have to reset the time/date any time I boot it. Any way to avoid this?
2) I can't seem to get bluetooth to work. It will not enable?
3) Still trying to get sound to work?

Other than that very impressed.
